Actually I think Innuit soapstone carvings is a decent business for them.
Not really,most nice stuff is made and sold on the west coast.The guys that do the collecting and carving in Nunavut dont even have websites selling their goods.
I dont know why,I offered to be a go between for carvings and fur clothing once and they werent interested.
There is one guy in Baker lake that ships his carvings around the world,what they pay $1000.00 for in B.C. I can get for about $50.00 in Baker lake,and thats not because the owner of the art gallery is my buddy either.
Soapstone was plentifull at the camp I was at,the guys used to collect it off the airstrip and ship it to town on the chopper allmost every chance they had.
It was funny because they couldnt understand that the bags of gold samples got top priority and their soapstone had to wait untill there was room in the heli.
